𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆: JB Sport + Education
We were recently commissioned by JB Sport + Education to create a sustainable solution for their marketing output following a company wide investment into a rebrand.
🎯 The goals were clear, develop a marketing strategy, improve marketing assets, introduce standard operating procedures and ensure the solution is financially sustainable moving forward. Here's what we did...

1️⃣ - Created a strategy that included suggested marketing goals & KPI's, access to standard operating procedures, guides, advice and templates.

2️⃣ - Designed over 100 social media marketing assets and traditional print material such as brochures and flyers, utilising QR codes as clear call to actions.

3️⃣ - Wrote 12 optimised blogs and provided 16 other recommended blog titles that were devised from research into what potential customers are looking for on search engines.

4️⃣ - Introduced guides and SOPs which included guides for engagement, blog maximisation plans, personnel responsibilities, approval processes and quality assurance procedures.

5️⃣ - Provided links to templates for every design, media asset and blog to help with the creation of content going forward in line with their desire to create a financially sustainable solution for marketing.

The feedback from Stephen at JB Sport + Education has been fantastic. We asked the Directors to rate a number of areas out of 10, with the following scores given:

👍 Overall Satisfaction with Services Provided - 𝟵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬
🗣 Communication of the Agency - 𝟵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬
✍🏼 Quality of Content Created - 𝟭𝟬 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬

It has been fantastic working with Stephen and Oliver over the last three months and we are now excited to see where the brand of JB Sport + Education goes from here. 🚀

How to create 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 from your customers… 🦸

Are you looking to expand your holiday camp customer base? Look no further than your existing customers!

Here are three top tips to help you leverage your current customer base to acquire new ones:

1️⃣ - Encourage Social Sharing: After booking, provide your customers with something shareable on social media. For example, a graphic or pre-written post indicating their child is attending at your camp. This not only validates their trust in your services but also encourages others in their network to follow suit. Harness the power of social proof to attract new customers effortlessly.

2️⃣ - Implement a Referral Program: Incentivise your current customers to refer their friends and family to your business by offering referral discounts. For instance, offer a 50% discount on their next booking or a free day at camp for every successful referral. Ensure your booking system has a designated space to track referrals, making it easy to reward loyal customers and track the effectiveness of your referral program.

3️⃣ - Offer Invite a Friend Vouchers for Loyal Customers: Reward your most loyal customers with exclusive “Invite a Friend” vouchers. These vouchers could offer special discounts or perks for both the loyal customer and their friend when the friend books a service. This not only incentivises existing customers to spread the word about your business but also creates a positive experience for new customers right from the start.

By implementing these strategies, you can turn your satisfied customers into enthusiastic brand ambassadors, driving new business growth and sales success.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐬. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Who wins the battle for your holiday camp customer acquisition strategy?

We have all heard of ‘paid ads’ right but are you using them effectively? 🤔

Let’s dive into the dynamic duo of Intent Marketing (hello Google Ads!) and Interruption Marketing (ah, Facebook).

🔍 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (Google Ads): Picture this - a potential customer is actively seeking out your product or service. They’re typing away on Google, searching for “school holiday childcare” or “school holiday children’s activities”. This is your golden opportunity! With strategic ad placement, you can ensure that when they’re in the buying mindset, your offering is right there in front of them. You need to be sure that intent doesn’t slip away by delivering compelling ad copy, irresistible offers and an easy transaction process.

🛑 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (Meta Ads): Now, let’s talk about Facebook and Meta. It’s a social hub where people connect, share, and scroll through cat videos. They’re not necessarily there to shop for your specific product or service. But wait, don’t count Facebook out just yet! While it might seem like an interruption of their social time, it can actually be a powerful reminder. After someone’s Google search for holiday camps, your Facebook ad might just pop up in their feed, nudging them to take action. For some parents, they are that busy they may not even realise there’s an upcoming school holiday and serve as a well timed reminder to organise some plans for their child.

🤝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐨: So, which one should you choose? Here’s the secret sauce - it’s not an either/or situation. It’s a both/and! By integrating both intent and interruption marketing into your strategy, you create a magical marketing mix. When done right, they complement each other beautifully, boosting your bookings and maximising your ROI/ROAS.

Don’t overlook one for the other - embrace them both and watch your camp’s success soar! 🚀
